waltergallons Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Does anybody know where I can get a new one ?..... I know that there was one on e-bay recently, but that disappeared prior to auction finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fantic-240-Original-...A1%7C240%3A1318 I dont think there are any new ones left. If you get a good straight frame, it is relativly easy to build a "new" one althought it will be expensive. E.g. Rear Rim 70 quid (tubeless) stainless spokes, 60 quid a set, Tyres 150 pair, rebuilt 212 motor (either 240 ,241 or 243) about 600 quid, sand blasted parts 100 quid, powder coated frame about 100, silencer (WES) 55 quid, plus a good base bike (700 quid? It is quite easy to get to about 2500 pounds. Dave rebuilt one and had it on here. It looked like new. Maybe look through the old posts and make him an offer????

fanticisti Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Do you mean the chain tensioner pad 450-08-00-6260, or the swingarm pivot protective slipper pad 450-09-00-5250 that Lee was advertising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
